Dubai’s culinary calendar is closing with a masterclass in precision and artistry. On December 22nd and 23rd, TakaHisa will host a long awaited reunion with Chef Takuya Watanabe, the visionary behind London’s Michelin starred Taku. This event marks a defining moment for the city’s food scene, bringing together two global culinary capitals for a rare, two night only omakase experience at the Banyan Tree Dubai.
Modern gourmands are increasingly drawn to these temporary, high stakes collaborations that offer something far beyond a standard menu. This partnership addresses the craving for exclusivity and the chance to witness world class chefs in a shared creative flow. Chef Taku, who operates one of the most difficult reservations to secure in London’s Mayfair, was actually the very first international chef to work with TakaHisa four years ago. After a chance meeting in Paris this year, the chefs decided to bring their shared vision back to the UAE for an aspirational year end finale.
The event is designed around the philosophy of omakase, where the essence of the ingredient takes center stage. Guests can expect:
- A special collaboration menu curated by Chef Taku, Chef Taka, and wagyu master Chef Hisa.
- Three intimate seatings per day at 1 PM, 6 PM, and 9 PM to ensure focus.
- The finest ingredients flown directly from Japan, handled with uncompromising skill.
- A blend of delicate sushi techniques and powerful wagyu flavors.
This reflects TakaHisa’s commitment to bold innovation while staying deeply rooted in Japanese tradition. The human angle here is the story of friendship and fate, as these masters reunite to push the boundaries of what Japanese dining can be in Dubai. For the discerning diner, it is an opportunity to experience the intensity and exhilaration of world class sushi at its absolute finest. The AED 3,000 price point reflects the rare nature of the ingredients and the collective expertise on display.
Seats are extremely limited and expected to sell out almost instantly. Make sure you are part of the audience witnessing this historic culinary convergence before the 2025 calendar closes.
Take your palate on a journey from London to Tokyo without leaving the shores of Dubai. This collaboration is the ultimate celebration of craft and beauty. Shop now at the TakaHisa website to request your reservation for this unforgettable two night event!
